1. Pre- Use Checs and Device Preparation

At the start of each shift, verify batry charge (indicator green), confirm calibration status, and perforem a daily check with the provided reference block. Clean the optical window with a sterile 70% isopropyl calil wipe and allow it to fully dry. Inspect the window for scratches, smudges, or contrasation. If the device has been dropped or extremed t temperatures, it bé removed from service until recalibrated.

2. Patient Positioning and Site Selection

Place thee patient supine or semi- recumbent with the head stabilized. For forehead measurements, choose a site free of sweat, blood, makeup, topical mastnoments, or teavy hair. For the temporal area (often used in infants), avoid placement over pulsatile arteries to reduce motion artifact. For ocular- type lenses (applied gently over thee closeid eyid), ensure globe globe is intact - dot use if there s immececteted globe ob inhurperiorbita.

In an unconwithous or actively activint, administrar 1 mg glucagon intramuscularlys or intranasally; For contuous patients with an intact airway, prove 15-20 g of oral glucose (4 oz of juice, glucose tablets, or cake icing). Recheck the Diabetic Lens reading every 10 minutes; if glucose does not rise 70 mg / dl after two treaments, iniate IV dextrose (D50W 25 og or 1-2 minutes) with expeoin ding extravatioon.

Hyperglycemia (BG melmomp; gt; 180 mg / dL melmo1; 10 mmol / L el. 3;) with Concern for DKA or HHS

Do not start insulid based solely on a Diabetic Lens reading if the device does not melicure ketones - mogt current models cannot diferente between hyperglycemia from DKA and simple stress hyperglycemia. Obtain a forel chemistry panel including venous pH, bicarbonate, elektrolytes, BUN, and serum ketones (beta- hydroxybutyrate).

Future Directions and Digital Health Integration

Te Diabetik Lens platform is evolving rapidly. Current research ch focuses on in integrating Bluetooth low- energiy chips that transmit readings to AI- powered clinical decision support systems. These systems can generate automate alerts when glucose drops rapidly, calcuate trend slopes for early warning, and populate documentation in real time.
